A friend recently sent me this question from Joanna Macy. Joanna is a respected voice in movements for peace, justice, and ecology.
For me the simplicity of her words cut through the confusion and selfish manipulation we experience on a daily basis and go to the heart of how we as humanity choose our future. Here is what she has to say: ‘We will probably not know in our lifetimes whether we are serving as deathbed attendants to a dying world or as midwives to the next stage of human evolution. We simply don’t know. So, what is it going to be? With nothing to lose, what could hold us back from being the most courageous, the most innovative, the most warmhearted version of ourselves we can possibly be?’ – Joanna Macy.
